But I’m wondering to myself, how is it that this (so far) already looks dated by 6-7 years to me? I can’t put my finger on why, but it something about it looks circa early 2010’s. They could’ve done much worse, but this isn’t promising so far. Something tells me they slightly tweaked whatever monstrosity Nike pitched in 2012 when they became the official supplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 From what it sounds like... Owner Arthur Blank stated that the players had most of the input on these. It ain’t Nike’s fault, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 As Arena League as these are.. they are still an upgrade over the horribly dated look they have been sporting for past decade or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The side panels and gradient do already feel dated, but I personally like the number font and simplicity of the sleeve caps compared to what they previously wore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I like the white and black jersey. Not sure about the dropshadow, but it’s not terrible. The red jersey will probably be a disaster. Seems like the this is a five year uniform only. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikWings Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I don't mind the chrome facemask, actually kinda like, it was one of the least problematic things with the previous Bucs set. I'll take a chrome mask 10 out of 10 times over an oversized logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gradient is literally on one jersey, yet, people want the whole set to suffer. The Numbers aren't Oregon big, the decal isn't Tampa big, the stripe isn't akin to the Browns or Jets, and it's not like the Falcons have to wear a one color sock. So yeah, there's really only one thing that's disappointing, and it's something that isn't included in the whole set, just one jersey. Whereas the Jets , Titans, and Jags have things for their entire set that brings it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojopeligreeno Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Are they using the black or red jerseys as there primary homes? That is the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PosterNutbag Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It just reeks of Nike unnecessarily over-complicating it. They can't restrain themselves. The gradient is gimmicky and is already dated. It's almost like planned obsolescence, as is the oversized logo and jersey font. But the icing on the cake for me is the pointless stripe that goes halfway to the armpit. The pant stripe is fine. There was absolutely no reason for the extension. It's as stupid as the Titans' armpit navy. Everyone else from the initial Nike cluster:censored:s is pulling back and coming out with decent, simple uniforms (which is where the pendulum is swinging). These look like they were designed to "make a statement," the "this is so fire emoji" folks on Twitter will drool over them, but will be largely hated by the fanbase. Then, in five years, there will be a return to a simpler design (which Nike will still some how screw up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the question I’d imagine that because the red isn’t like the white or black, it’s the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think those are paid actors or someone is just incredible at photoshop? I actually like the gradient jersey. Then again I liked Jacksonville’s gradient helmets. I’m all about weird new designs. Not every team needs to revert to a throwback, I’m glad to see teams be creative and push some boundaries. My biggest gripe is with the number font. Too blocky, and doesn’t look good on the road uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Jordan Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Awful. Just awful. All they had to do was make a few small tweaks to this... ... and they'd be a hit. It's really not that hard, Falcons. Also, glossy helmets > matte helmets all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
